WHAT THE ROOTS REMEMBER

Fifteen-year-old Elowen has never had a friend. Then a dying dragon calls to her through the trees. The people of Hollowmere call Elowen mad because she speaks to the forest - and the forest answers.
All her life, she has heard the voices hidden inside the roots, rivers, and ancient stone. But when an agonized cry reaches her from somewhere deep in the forest, Elowen knows she cannot ignore it. Following the voice beyond the world she knows, she discovers Thessaly: an ancient dragon, wounded and running out of time. Saving him changes everything. Thessaly becomes the first soul to truly hear Elowen, and she becomes the one person he would sacrifice everything to protect. Their fierce and unbreakable bond leads her into the Sundered Half, a hidden realm of dragons, elves, and old magic whose people deliberately separated themselves from humanity long ago.

For the first time in her fifteen years, Elowen finds friendship, belonging, and the possibility that the family she has always longed for may be waiting somewhere in this forgotten world. But the realm is breaking. A tearing seam threatens to destroy the Sundered Half. An ancient danger named Thorne is stirring, and Cael, a young man who C ommands instead of Asking, sees Elowen's extraordinary connection to the living world as a power he can exploit.

When Thessaly's life is threatened again and the seam begins to tear the world apart, Elowen must fight for the dragon she loves, the friends who have become family, and a realm that may finally hold the truth of who she is. How far will a girl who has never known love go to save those who have taught her what it means? What the Roots Remember is an emotional young adult and adult fantasy adventure filled with dragons, enchanted forests, ancient magic, loyal friendships, found family, dangerous secrets, and a touch of clean, slow-burn romance. The trees are calling. The dragon is waiting. Step beneath the roots and enter the Sundered Half.
